This is my second Arcade Plane Combat game after Ace Combat 7, and I've got to say I'm impressed. Not only did 3 guys managed to deliver an experience as good as Ace Combat, but they managed to make me like it even more than Ace Combat 7, which was already a game that blew my mind.

The soundtrack was a blast, the leitmotiffs really hit the right notes and makes you pumped when it needs to be.

I'm a noob, so I play on "noob" mode (assisted flight I think it is, instead of the advanced one) but I still felt the intensity of the dogfights, and the gameplay is very versatile, I first criticized that there are no checkpoints, but being honest? that made it all better, because you needed to gear up for the entire mission and not be greedy, once I started playing better and saving up resources, I stopped dying stupidly and carefully calculated my moves to perform the mission as best as I could do without relying too much on easy kills. The plane customization of weapons really did wonders to the gameplay.

All in all, a very solid experience, would get gaslighted by Crimson 1 again.
